KDE SC 4.5 � Desktop Activities Exposed

"Recently, I wrote a post about the KDE 4.5 SC release
candidate. In that post, I was a little bit critical about the
discoverability of desktop activities. I wasn't too sure of what
the purpose of these were, and there was nothing in the interface
for creating these activities that gave the user any hint of what
they were. Whilst I stand by that criticism, I've found a great
article that explains the purpose of desktop activities, how they
work and how they may integrate into a user's desktop. There is
also a slightly older article that provides particular individual
examples of how desktop activities might be used. Unfortunately the
KDE userbase article on the point is deeply inadequate as an
explanation of how you might use this feature.

"Whilst I now understand how these features work and might be
used, I still don't understand how this might improve my
workflow."
